anybody else get double vision?
when you can see with your left eye, see with your right eye, but the two images do not coincide.
Happens frequently while riding; never when not riding. Stand up & Im as good as new. I would guess it has something to do with: leaning over forward, exercise, ?

I'm not a medical doctor, but perhaps you should visit one.

Maybe you're changing your focal point much more frequently while cycling in a way that you don't while driving. Try not looking at close objects like your bike computer or gears, and then quickly looking far ahead, and then quickly close again, and then far ahead, etc.. You could be straining/fatiguing your focal muscles. There's nothing on your bike computer that matters, unless of course you have a power meter
If that doesn't make a difference, go see an ophthalmologist.

My wife has diplopia. She won’t be commenting so I will try.
You need to see the ophthalmologist ASAP. There is a good chance you have one of the common varieties and can be treated easily. There are also a good variety of possibilities that you won’t like at all. Don’t be surprised if you get referred to additional specialists. Pick up the phone and call the doctor.

Like the other poster noted, what you have is NOT normal and you need to see an ophthalmologist. Had a retina detach and will never put off getting a vision problem resolved ASAP and neither should you.

See a doctor, pronto. Could be a pinched nerve in your neck, could be a eye problem, could be a lot of things.

Once read about a soldier that saw everything twice. Later Yossarian claimed to have the same ailment.

All doctors prefer Campagnolo. Geez

You'd think we'd have more doctors here at BF to answer these questions. Who else can afford some of these bikes ?

I always get double vision when I try to turn my head to check for traffic. But that's mostly because I wear glasses. Being leaned over tends to confuse the brain too. I close one eye when I have to turn my head to check for traffic.

Does it feel like your mind is racing but your body’s in the lead?
I’d see a doctor.
